Dynamis Bound! Rate your excitement level (If you're going)

T-46 hours left to go!

What's your excitement level 1-10?

I've played for 11 years and personally I haven't been this excited in 14 for a long time.

Fresh eco to play with, actual housing to get into....again (For the 6th time for me lol)

Also the first time I'll have max crafting ready to go (Almost ready anyway)

idk, feels like christmas. How about yall?!!

10 for me.

I'm pretty ready to leave Crystal, I've been living on DC travel since it came out so its pretty neat to go to a new server

I'm honestly exhausted from preparing the alts I plan to transfer. I keep thinking "okay, this item is going to take a while to start filling on the marketboard, I should stock up on some to take". Needless to say inventories for characters and retainers is very full now.

Ngl thinking of moving from JP to new NA DC, but kinda worried about the ping, might test an alt there.

Materia is borderline dead and not worth playing on, would be nice to hang out with other English speaking players

I'm excited but also very much aware that the majority of people moving to Dynamis are going for housing. I'm worried for the disappointment that will follow after the first lottery takes away most, if not all of the private houses. If any are left after I will be stunned but I wonder how populated the DC will stay after people don't get what they came for.

Very excited to get my 2 characters off Materia where the ping for me is unplayable and onto a NA server where it will be much better. I don't care about housing honestly. I just want to be able to play the characters again.

10 / 10
I need a House for Summer Vacations or maybe a second one for the Dynamis Waifu too. Mmmh, so many opportunities.

Seriously considering moving a Gilga Alt there. She is endgame and could use a change of scenery. I have two on Gilga and being the same region she'd still be in all the crosslinks when I dc travel her back to aether.

Question you don't lose Island Sanctuary progress do you if you transfer?

No, I moved a max out Island from Materia to Chaos and it's still maxed out and on time

You probably know it but just in case, Materia to Dynamis won't be a free transfer. (Unless they remove the "New server" status on Materia, which I don't see happening.)

Just curious, what kind of prep did you do?

I'm assuming big preppers stocked up on things to flood the MB with.

Other prep can include clearing out mail items, making sure all MB sales are removed, emptying out houses/apartments, getting rid of your FC, knocking down houses(don't get rid of your land if you're moving with a house...just remove the building!), etc. :3

Can't flood the mb when you only get 20 listings per retainer though I'm sure a lot of people have items stashed for the MB.

Data center travel means there's always access to things forgotten/not anticipated. The main lack will be anything obtained through FC workshops or gardening.

To add to your list of things to do to prepare:

- check the Calamity Salvager to make certain you don't have unclaimed belts on it if your character was created before Endwalker release.

- also check for Ceremony of Eternal Bonding invitations. Can't have those in your inventory or a retainer's inventory when transferring.

- if your character is a tenant in someone else's house, you need to leave it (Housing - Estate Settings - Shared Estate)

- once servers are online, go to the character selection screen of the world you plan to transfer to before going to Mogstation or it won't appear on the list of destination worlds

Where there's a will, there's a way. Just bring the full retainer / alt army! ;) I'm personally faaaar too lazy to bother attempting to move over anything to sell. I just want a nice empty server for awhile.

And belts....evidently I need to go check for belts @.@; I thought I was done!

Mateus 3.0 coming and eventually everyone will be using DC Travel to be in Crystal as usual.

One more for the list - if possible and you don't already have one, buy an apartment before you leave. There is a free 500,000 in it.

I may or may not transfer to try and get a house

To those of you heading for Dynamis, I wish you a safe journey and may the streets be filled with big empty housing plots for the taking!

I cleared out my apartment, gave the items to my retainers. Bought a few items and I'll probably grab a few more in prep for the switch. I did forget to leave my FC this morning though so I don't think I'll be able to join a new one instantly sadly.

Not transferring, but I'm going to start a little side alt and work her up from the ground up. Been so long since I was a tiny little sprout with little gil to my name. Even my alts currently I help out. So I'm looking forward to a fresh start to poke around with here and there.

I've been constantly on the fence about transferring or not. For one, I'd be giving up my house. (Which isn't much of a loss for me since I don't hang out with anybody anyway and I suck at decorating.) I'd also be giving up my friends list. While I didn't use it often for actual communicating, I would be heartbroken to see it empty from switching DCs. On the other hand, I get reimbursed for my house and apt. (Plus extra for furniture loss) and get to transfer for free. A fresh new community to start over with on Worlds with no prior reputation is mighty tempting.

I plan on just visiting for a few days to get a good scope on how many people appear to have seriously transferred over. I'm worried about bots overrunning the place as well as how long queues will take. But I feel like in the long run it might be worth it...

That is exactly what I am going to do start fresh with a little sprout and see how fast I can go to level up 11 crafters, a miner and botanist, a whm, warrior, and red mage

Not sure which classes I want to go with yet. I considered I might tackle tank again from the ground up. I was a prot paladin for years in WoW and kind of miss it. Definitely will have all DoH and DoL, though. Sometimes I do that more than I adventure.

For levelling your DOL you will love this:

https://i.gyazo.com/327297da267e2e66...d3122e1e53.png

One weird thing we saw on Materia with Tanks was... there were so many of them! DPS in need was a real thing for quite a long time.

LOL yes, though I'll be leveling those along with my adventuring level for gear and such, so I may not need the Firmament as much by the time I can unlock it.

I'll probably end up with at least one of each adventuring role. Might go get SCH back under my belt. I was always a WHM main, but I used to be pretty proficient in both before I let SCH fall to the wayside. Not sure which DPS. Maybe DRG that I enjoy but don't play much, or take the time to relearn MNK.

This is exactly why I pick up red mage as soon as possible to help out the ques at the start of a server. keeping the insta ques going is key to leveling as fast as possible.

For the MSQ, I'd recommend DPS. Tanks and healers will always have fast queues but DPS tend not to. So dump all that free EXP on them and grind out tanks afterwards is my advice.

You get more than enough xp to lvl up more than one job at the same time. You can easily pick 2 jobs, even 3 from the beginning. If not, with arcanist you get both a healer and a dps with scholar and summoner once you reach lvl 30 and they level up together. If the dps queues are too long, you can swap to healer. You can pick that and a tank role. Also, if you have xp to spare you can pick up extra jobs at lvl 50, 60 and 70 without any other requirement than the level.

100% recommend playing as SCH/SMN when leveling MSQ.
Having the option to jump to a healer queue when DPS queue takes too long is a life saver.

At least in the case of moving from NA to another NA data center, your friends will still show up on your list. Not sure if this is going to be the case if you are changing regions.

I was excited until I saw the queue when I went to login on Seraph.

At least Dynamis is located in NA and people will be able to travel if the queues are too long.

Still, it is not ideal and that remains the reason I am chosing to stay on Excalibur/Primal and forego my chances at a bigger house: it is very active and save exception queues are rather short. I queued dps for some Eden raids to unlock them on a toon last week between 12 am and 2 am and I only waited <10 mins. Nier is easy to get too if it is not 2am.

the queues are only there because a large amount of people are trying to login at once. it'll settle down over time

i think they meant the login queues, but i could be wrong

Which of the dynamis worlds have the most players atm? Trying to decide which one to move my alt to, and i like a lively world!

My guess would be that Seraph is going to be the most popular based on queues from this morning around launch and polls/comments in the last week or two.

Well another thing to keep in mind is that up to a certain level there's Duty Support so the only queues that will be an issue are anything that can't be done with that. And there are hunting logs, beast tribes, FATES, and GC daily hunts to supplement. I've got all 90s so I know a lot of leveling tricks and I'm not too worried about that aspect. I was mainly going to focus on tank as a role I don't normally do. I'm a WHM/BRD main.
